FAULT FINDING
In the event of operating difficulties with your Distinction Water Still, please consult the following notes. If these fail to
identify and remedy the fault you are advised to contact your supplier or the Technical Service Department of Bibby Sterilin
Ltd.
Symptom Cause Remedy
Heater not working a) Burnt out heater Replace heater
b) Failed electricity supply Restore supply
c) Thermostat operated Identify and rectify the
cause and reset thermostat
Water level in boiler a) Supply of cooling water is Adjust the supply to
is too low - heater exposed insufficient approximately 60 l/hr
b) Boiler drain stopcock left open Close stopcock
Water level in boiler a) Flow of cooling water is too high Adjust the supply to
is too high - e.g. water surging approximately 60 l/hr
into condenser b) Drain is restricted Ensure drain pipe falls freely
from Still with no kinks
Distillate temperature is Supply of cooling water is Adjust the supply to
too high - e.g. >50°C insufficient approx 60 l/hr
Water in boiler is “pumped” a) Tubing from condenser Ensure tubing falls freely
out of the boiler to drain distillate outlet to the reservoir from Still with no kinks
is constricted
b) Mounting for condenser Remove obstruction
thermostat is blocked
c) Supply of cooling water Adjust the supply to
is insufficient approximately 60 l/hr
Distillate quality is poor* Boiler heavily scaled Clean boiler
Output less than 4 l/hr Mains electricity supply below –
nominal voltage
*Distillate quality when measured by pH or conductivity is gr eatly affected by temperature and the presence of absorbed
carbon dioxide.
